HDX toilet scrubbie brushes were down to $0.83
Mine had those plus a couple of different styles for dishes. One a bottle brush. The other the little hand held brush you fill with dishwashing liquid. I think both were $0.39 each.
Palm brush 1000 019 264
Bottle brush 1000 019 263
I think over half of the 11 I sent it were outside the highlighted week, but the rebate form is kind of vague on that requirement. I just got on chat and asked why my rebates were denied as all the receipts were within 60 days of the rebate period and that the invalid reason was bogus because the 11% rebate is not store specific.
Took a few useless agents, but I finally got one that actually wanted and knew how to help and she validated/approved all but one of them. The one she couldn't validate, she said it just kept on coming up with the same invalid reason every time she tried to update the system so she escalated it.
It seems like them coming back "invalid" is more of a system error on their end when they are initially processed and they just don't bother to really look into and manually validate "invalid" submissions unless you contact them.
Call/chat with them and they should either validate/approve them immediately or escalate them to upper management. Just say that you followed all the requirements of the form and that all your receipts were within 60 days of the rebate, and that the 11% rebate is not store specific.
Use short sentences and words, and kill them with kindness and enthusiasm towards what they are helping you with haha. Seemed to work for me this time.
Been trying to find a box of 12 of those for a while now and a few stores but no dice. Nice find.
I see it says inventory is 0. I bet if you go to a another store that shows stock it will be $229 there. Annoying how they do that. Same thing with the M18 Planer.
Thanks for the heads up!!
Some questions:
What is the link to the rebate form?
Will they rebate clearance or sale items?
Do we have a list of what is rebatable and what is not?
Expected turn around time?
How are they tracked?
Thank you in advance.
Just checked yesterday and got told that for all of mine. Gonna have to call in and deal with these idiots.
They have rebated everything I have sent in whether it be clearance or sale.
No
Expect probably 3 weeks for them to even show up when you search. You may or may not get an email confirmation with tracking numbers. Expect them to be denied initially then you have to call or chat to get them either approved or escalated to be approved.
Try the chat. I had to first get all the tracking numbers because for some reason I never got an email and when you search it doesn't show the tracking number.
Wow, can't believe so many have problems with the rebates. Have never,except for a penny receipt,ever had mine denied. And last time turn around was about 4 weeks from send in to getting back to me.This time hopefully no problems since I sent in like 27 receipts I believe!
I have sent in 20 or so receipts for 2 rebates and have not had any get approved without having to contact them.
SPN has done way more and I don't think he has either. Always has to call.

That's because each store is on its own clearance schedule. It's all based on sales and customer traffic

Entirely possible. But I've found this on numerous occasions. Theoretically. Each store in the district should have the same clearance schedule. Maybe by default, and the managers can change it. Usually thats the case. There are some oddballs through. I've found a good bit of power tools will be clearanced in the computer even though the store has none and may have very well never had any to begin with.
Same thing with the Husky 36" shelving units. Stores with no inventory .03. Never even saw them in the PCA at 00 or 06 when searching. All of sudden there they are. Stores with inventory. Still full price. And the store that does is not one that normally lags behind.

Those homelite electric blowers, some stores clearanced them, others in the same area never clearanced them at all and still have plenty at full price. Trying to figure out why some stores clearance, others don't, is a waste of time. Every store in my area has those m12 tubing cutters at clearance except the only 2 who actually have them in stock.

Those are in a $1.00 basket by the front door at one store.The same store put a few things at$1.00 that were at .03 price.Who knows what they are up to.
Update on the status of mine. The chat is very helpful. Gave me all my tracking information. Approved all of mine since there were applied for the june instead of the april rebate term. The end of the chat said I would be getting a visa prepaid card, but i think that is a generic reply since i was expecting them to be HD gift cards.
You got lucky to have that experience the first time. Usually it takes multiple chats and phone calls to get them approved.
Luckily I had the same experience as you. I also got the Visa card speech at the end of the chat. I expect HD cards will be coming.
Getting the run around with the chat(3rd time). Said my store was not participating in the rebate, so I asked did they have a list of stores that are and she gave me this!
Not a store in the area on that list!
She also told me she was sending it to a different department for review and I should check back in 7 -10 days.
I think these are stores that have a Menard's near?

This is not on the form though and there is no asterisk saying only certain stores.
It says on the form
"Promotion is valid in select US Home Depot stores" below where you fill it out.
